It is kind of ironic that Emily Dickinson writes a poem about the life of words and how they should be used because she hid her words. She made her voice known after she was gone so for a long time her words were dead. Did she ever think that these words would be found? If so, what is her purpose for hiding her "voice"? If you want to show the power of words, why would you create such a powerful message and then make it disappear. Maybe she had much more to say than we even know. I am happy that the poems were found. Her talents are appreciated by so many poets like myself.

when i read it, i felt that we should utter words carefully and think twice before saying the word itself. the word is like the (s)word i mean the sword it may kill you or kill the addressee.
